Transylvania University will receive $250,000 from a joint endeavor between the Teagle Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities to help students engage with literature, philosophy and history. Transylvania’s initiative will ensure that students gain confidence in approaching and discussing transformative texts, those classic and contemporary works that span borders and reflect the diversity and complexity of the human experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Teagle Foundation, the goal of its Cornerstone: Learning for Living initiative is to \u201cbroaden students\u2019 understanding of the world, strengthen the ability to think critically, write clearly, speak with confidence, contend with differing viewpoints and deepen civic awareness and engagement.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cColleges and universities should of course prepare students for the marketplace, but also for informed and engaged participation in a democratic society,\u201d Andrew Delbanco, president of the Teagle Foundation, said in making the grant announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Teagle\/NEH funding helps strengthen students\u2019 foundation in the humanities at Transylvania. The goal is to assist students with gaining confidence in approaching and discussing transformative texts so they can boost their own understanding of the world and take steps towards making meaningful connections with others on campus and in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy grappling with complex problems and thorny questions and collaborating with classmates and faculty in the kinds of academic exploration that lead to real personal transformation, our students will build both their intellectual confidence and their intellectual humility while seeing how they can participate in centuries-long conversations,\u201d said Rebecca Thomas, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the university.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next two years, project directors and professors Brian Arganbright, Simonetta Cochis and Zoe Strecker will use the funding to enhance Transylvania\u2019s required first-year seminars by organizing several sections around transformative texts. They will then launch the university\u2019s first Learning Community of Engagement with a transformative text component where students can choose to pursue a pathway consisting of three humanities-based courses.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow do we best prepare our students to navigate, manage and embrace these tumultuous times and opportunities? The faculty at Transylvania University have been thinking thoroughly and creatively about the ways that we can best do that in accord with our mission, our core values, our strategic focus and our aspirations for our students,\u201d said President Brien Lewis.\u00a0\u201cThe approach offered here is rooted in strong and effective humanities and liberal arts traditions and provides both foundational and capstone bookends that intentionally connect the profound ideas and implications that students will explore throughout their undergraduate experience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
